While it’s been a very slow week for site updates, the major news side of things have picked up. Aside from the slew of titles announced by Otomate during the Otomate Party 2016 event, the biggest news this week would probably be the mammoth 756mb trial of Blackish House Side A→. Moujuu-tachi to Ohime-sama and Oumagatoki ~Kakuriyo no Enishi~ were reviewed by Famitsuu, being awarded Famitsuu Silver and Famitsuu Gold respectively. Dogenzaka Labs released their third localisation this month, which is My Butler (Shitsuji no Prince-sama) that was made available on Steam earlier this week.

There’s been a lot of promotional activities this week, with Kokorogawari, Oumagatoki ~Kakuriyo no Enishi~, 7’scarlet and Koei Tecmo launching sales and campaigns to drum up interest for their games. Caramel Mokaccino has less than 24 hours until their Kickstarter campaign concludes, with 6/8 stretch goals being fully funded. Finally, Kalmia8 have officially confirmed that a third title is in the works, with its teaser site set to launch next week.

The highlights of this week are perhaps the results of the Nil Admirari no Tenbin popularity poll and HuneX’s Steam Prison teaser site opening. Caramel Mokaccino have now raised funds for four of their now seven stretch goals and preorders for Kokorogawari became available shortly after the conclusion of their Twitter campaign, in which the above cover art was revealed.

It’s been an interesting week in otome gaming for English fans, as the E2 Gaming fiasco cooled down and Primula proved the new company’s legitimacy. For the Japanese side, Kalmia8’s latest staff blog post very briefly confirms that a third title is likely in the works, with other games releasing some major fan merchandise like soundtracks and fanbooks.

We’ve reached issue #10, but it’s a pretty quiet news week; especially in comparison to issue #9. Though quiet, some of the announcements are pretty major, so hopefully issue #10 will still be a good read for you all.

Yet again, the April 2016 Releases post received an update, thanks to the release of Illus Seed’s first otome game, Asagao Academy: Normal Boots Club and veteran Winter Wolves’ C-14 Dating on Steam.

Before we get stuck into things, I would like to apologise to all readers for missing out on two news pieces regarding English localisations. If you did not re-read Issue #5 after the update, I’m referring to the news that the Ozmafia!! English localisation by MangaGamer is now available for pre-order and Spike Chunsoft have Tweeted their consideration of a possible localisation of Kenka Banchou Otome if enough interest is shown. Thank you very much to one of my readers named Cat for informing me of this!

This week, we’ve got a couple of new otome game announcements to make up for the unfortunate news that the Kickstarter of Beastmaster and Prince ~Flower & Snow~ was unsuccessful. The new games are Oumagatoki ~Kakuriyo no Enishi~ by otome game newcomers eXtend and Crank In by Petit Reve.
